Snowflake AI Data Cloud

What do you like best about the product?

I like the separation of compute and storage in Snowflake, which allows for independent scaling and helps to avoid query conflicts while improving concurrency and controlling costs. I appreciate Snowflake's high performance with minimal tuning, as it automatically manages optimization tasks like indexing and query planning, allowing complex queries to run efficiently. The ease of handling different data types, including the ability to work with structured and semi-structured data like JSON, is another plus for me. I enjoy the low maintenance nature of Snowflake, as it eliminates the need to manage servers and indexing. Its strong integration ecosystem with various data storage and analytic tools makes it a versatile choice for data warehousing. The quick provisioning process, smooth data loading from cloud storage, and straightforward database management using SQL commands greatly simplify setup and operation.

What do you dislike about the product?

Cost management can be tricky. While the pay-as-you-use model is powerful, it requires close monitoring. In our project, long-running or poorly written queries could quickly increase compute costs if warehouses were not managed properly. Snowflake abstracts most performance tuning, which is usually a benefit. However, in some complex scenarios, the lack of deep control made fine-grained optimization difficult. Basic usage is simple, but advanced concepts such as time-travel, zero-copy cloning, and secure data sharing took time for teams with strict latency or connectivity requirements.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Snowflake centralizes data from multiple sources, removes server management efforts, and improves query performance for analytics. Its pay-as-you-use model controls costs, and it supports efficient handling of structured and semi-structured data.

What do you like best about the product?

I really enjoy Snowflake's scalability and performance, which have streamlined our data analytics process. The way it handles large volumes of data without compromising speed is impressive. I appreciate the seamless integration with our existing tools, making life so much easier. I also really enjoy Snowflake's automatic scaling, like having a super smart assistant that adjusts resources based on demand. The data sharing feature is a game-changer for collaboration with partners and internal teams; it works seamlessly. Snowflake's solid integrations with tools like Tableau and Power BI make visualization and gaining insights a breeze. The initial setup was pretty straightforward thanks to their solid documentation and helpful team, allowing us to start loading and querying data within a day.

What do you dislike about the product?

Honestly, one thing that can be a bit of a pain is Snowflake's cost management - it can get tricky to optimize costs, especially with complex queries or large data volumes. And sometimes, the learning curve for advanced features can be a bit steep, especially for new users.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Snowflake streamlines our data analytics with its scalability and performance. It handles large data volumes, integrates seamlessly with tools like Tableau and Power BI, and features like automatic scaling and data sharing enhance collaboration. However, cost management can be tricky, and there's a learning curve for advanced features.

What do you like best about the product?

Snowflake is very intuitive to use. You can spin up a very scalable and powerful data platform without spending too much time in managing the infrastructure.

What do you dislike about the product?

I would have loved to share Streamlit apps without creating Snowflake user accounts.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Snowflake helps us solve our data warehousing needs, giving us a scalable solution for our growing analytical needs in our company.

What do you like best about the product?

I like best about Snowflake is how it makes advanced data warehousing simple, fast, and scalable without heavy infrastructure work.

What do you dislike about the product?

If warehouses are left running or queries are poorly optimized, credit consumption increases fast. Cost control needs discipline.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Traditional databases struggle when data and users grow. Snowflake’s separation of compute and storage lets me scale performance instantly without impacting other users.
Benefit to me: Faster queries and no conflicts between ETL jobs and BI dashboards.
